The Things That Have Worked Are The Things That Will Work

I was in the early days of the biggest leap of my professional career. I’d spent two decades working in business environments that were big, or at the very least much bigger than the small0business arena I’m working in now. The situations that would come up in those big-business settings were the ones that had always come up, because those worlds were mostly about traversing trails that had already been traveled at different companies over and over since the beginning of time. Now I’m in this new role at a company that’s less about trail management and more about trailblazing. I left what I knew for what I needed. I jumped into something foreign for the opportunity to be. It’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do in pushing me, but it’s coming at the expense of my comfort. It’s coming at the expense of my ability to control all the variables. Of course it is. It’s supposed to.
